It's March already, so for many pilots that means it's time to make plans to go to Lakeland, Florida, for Sun 'n Fun. This year's event is set for April 10 to 15, with a full slate of airshows, workshops, forums, events and shopping opportunities designed to attract pilots. A new event this year is a 5K run on the field at 7 a.m. on Saturday, concurrent with the hot-air balloon launch. The Commemorative Air Force will bring its "Tora! Tora! Tora!" spectacle to Sun 'n Fun for the first time, on Saturday and Sunday, offering a pyrotechnic re-creation of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Also on the weekend, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will fly, and a night airshow is scheduled for both Wednesday and Saturday.
